BBQ and smokehouse food in Langley

Langley is a farm town that loves a smoker, yet you can count the sit-down BBQ joints on one hand. If you want brisket, ribs or pulled pork in Langley, here’s where to go, and the few things worth knowing first.

1. The brisket comes from a trailer

Texas Smoke BBQ is a food truck that describes itself as locally owned and locally smoked. The site’s best sellers are sandwiches (brisket on a bun is the headliner), and its photos show smoked brisket, mac and cheese, smoked beans and cornbread. Its Langley stops are Barnes Harley-Davidson, 8859 201 St in Willoughby, and Milner Feeds, 21565 Crush Crescent in Milner, where there’s a lawn with picnic tables. The locations page lists Thursday to Sunday, 11am to 6:30pm, and says the Harley-Davidson stop closes for the season after mid-November and returns in January 2027. Check the locations page before you drive out, because it’s a truck and the schedule moves. They also take pre-orders for platters and cater. texassmokebbq.ca

2. Brazilian barbecue counts too

Rio Brazilian Steakhouse, 19979 76 Ave #310, Willoughby, is churrasco: servers keep coming round with skewers of beef, pork, lamb, chicken and ribs, carved at the table, with a hot-sides and salad bar. It’s all-you-can-eat, it calls itself family owned, and it has two sister restaurants in Vancouver and Coquitlam. The site mentions free underground parking and reservations. 604-305-3700. riobraziliansteakhouse.ca

3. Ribs on the Bypass

Montana’s BBQ & Bar (national chain), 20100 Langley Bypass, Langley City, is the easy weeknight option: ribs, steaks, and brisket it says is smoked in-house. Its site lists 11am to 10pm every day and lunch specials weekdays until 4pm. 604-532-6799. montanas.ca

4. Smoke your own, or take some home

Bonetti Meats, 3986 248 St, between Otter and Aldergrove, runs its own smokehouse: garlic coil, kolbassa, farmer sausage, smokies, pepperoni, bacon and hams, all made in the shop. Not a plate of brisket, but it’s the real thing to bring home. For a brisket or a rack of ribs to put in your own smoker, see our list of Langley butchers and meat shops.

5. August is rib season

RibFest Langley is three days of travelling rib teams at McLeod Athletic Park every August; in 2026 it ran August 14 to 16. Admission and parking are free (donations at the gate), with proceeds going to Rotary and Langley service groups. Watch the Events page next summer for the 2027 dates.
